Red Monkey Company Jeans - Selvedge


RMC - Selvadge

Real Red Monkey/ RMC Martin Koshoh jeans only use selvedge denim produced on a 28inch loom. Fake Red Monkey jeans are produced on a cheap machine. Fakes use poorly made denim with coloured overlocking and in some cases they dgethe coloured denim and sew to the edge of the seams to make it look like selvedge. Fake Red Monkey jeans also have a poor quality hem and the colour of the thread is usually too dark like the photo

Real Red Monkey jeans have a leather waistband patch and not imitated PVC. The patch is also double stitched all the way round and not single stitched like the photo

Fake jeans can seriously damage your health! Many in the fashion industry are claiming counterfeit jeans should now carry a health warning! According to many in the industry fake jeans made in the backstreets of China are washed and dyed using irty waterwhich is contaminated with toxins, pollutants and heavy metals. These contaminants then remain in the counterfeit jeans when the denim is dried and can reputedly cause severe skin irritation and some have even suggested this can potentially cause cancer. The other concerning is when these counterfeit jeans are washed the contamination will be present in the steam which will be inhaled and cause further health problems to the owner. Counterfeit jeans washed in this irty wateralso have a stagnant and rotten smell which can never be removed.
